Interesting information on the bigoted "Moonie" co-hort Tim LaHaye: False Profit.

Interesting information on ... Tim LaHaye: False Profit.

Ironically, you cite Jimmy Akin, a converted Catholic who has done more to create controversy within the church than most (proving my point, perfectly).

Jimmy Akin may have some good points, but he relies on defamation and name-calling (liberal-left techniques) to defend his case. He avoids moderated debate and hides behind the guise of intellectual snobbery to avoid the checks and balances that would route out the errors in his theology.

He may be generally right in his biblical analyses or he may be generally wrong, but because he rejects peer review and because he sidesteps priestly intercession, his followers will never know how accurate his commentary is or is not.

BTW, Wohlberg is a pussy-cat compared to Akin.

Akin demonstrates his mastery of the liberal-left name-calling technique in this passage:

"Chick’s material is weirdly compelling. It’s amateurish, paranoid, lurid, garish, ham-fisted, and viciously hateful at times. It’s incredibly intense, and something about that intensity makes people want to read them. They generate a kind of bizarre fascination."
